School was dismissed early today, so the Little Prince played outside while we were waiting to go to lunch with his Mom-Mom and Pappy. Suddenly, from inside the house, I heard a loud snap. I thought he was playing with a stick and was preparing myself to yell at him for hitting things with a stick. Until he came in crying that he was wounded. I really hope this is not an indication of how things are going to go this summer.
Turns out it was the ladder rung that snapped as the Little Prince was standing on it. He was trying to gain high ground so he could see into the neighbor's yard. He was looking for the baby robin hopping around in their grass.
I am so very thankful that he was not hurt any more than this small scratch. It could have been so much worse, like a broken leg, back or neck. Or his pitching arm.
But as you can see, he is fine. We dined at Ruby Tuesday to celebrate the start of Summer Vacation and an excellent report card. The Little Prince will be entering 4th grade in August. Congratulations!!
